Happy Patriot's Day

A week after Easter and two weeks after Bridge Run, I'm ready to get back into a routine. Jay is about to round out his training for the Fargo Marathon on May 19th. Charleston has a crew heading to the Boston Marathon on Monday. Tyler Cross, Bratton Fennell, Karl Walsh, Jay Upchurch, David Quick, Marc and Ruth Embler will all toe the line.

I'll be running the Palmetto Half tomorrow, but I plan to meet the group for our long run on Sunday. Hope to see everyone then.

Post Race Hangover

Well, Ann, Jay and I had a nice long run on a beautiful Sunday morning the day after a Bridge Run I'm glad to put in my rear view mirror. Now we have to conduct the post mortem to avoid future mistakes.

Here's a pic with me and top female, Janet Cerobon-Bawcom.

Daylight Savings Time

Congrats to Cami who got fifth in her age group at the Sarasota Half Marathon. The races just keep piling up.

My apologies to Jay, who remembered to set his clock forward. Jay gets props for keeping the streak alive. He caught me on my first mile as he was on his last. I'll remember this weekend. See everyone Sunday at 7:00.

March

Had a great time at the Black Mountain Marathon. Best volunteers ever. No mile markers. No idea of how far you've come or how much to go. Very refreshing, actually. While it was my slowest marathon, things seemed to go by much more quickly.

The Bridge Run is about to sell out. If you haven't signed up yet, I suggest you do so soon. Hope to see folks on Sunday. I might try to show up just to run a few.

Head for the Hills

Heading up to Black Mountain today for the marathon. Slow and steady shall go this race, and I'm looking forward to it. Should be cold but clear and without snow.

Anne, Jay and I had a nice 10 mile run on Sunday. The nice warm weather was a complete switcheroo from the week before. Typical Charleston weather.

I know that Cami said she plans to be in attendance for the Sunday long run. She's putting the finishing touches on her training for Florida. Hope to see some more folks as well.

Cold Snap

Well after a couple of weeks of balmy weather, we got a dose of winter weather Sunday morning. Nevertheless, Jay, Cami and I managed to crank out an 18 miler (though we took a slightly more leisurely approach), in spite of the freezing temps. It was definitely a good day to run with a crowd.

Good luck to everyone running Myrtle Beach this weekend. I've got a week and a half till my marathon adventure in the mountains.

I plan to be there this Sunday for a slightly shorter run (only about 10 miles, or so). Hope to see everyone then.

Good luck

Good luck to our "Save the light" half-marathoners and 5 K warriors.

May you all have a tail wind all the way to the finish line. Looking forward to seeing great results tomorrow!

I will be there this Sunday for a 16 miler.
